[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our youngest is at Princeton.  It feels like there are far more rules and the administration is far less understanding and flexible compared to our oldest child's experience at another Ivy.  For instance, Princeton students are forbidden from getting outside tutoring if they are having difficulty in a class (it is considered an honor code violation).  The students are supposed to use the student tutors provided by the school, but there aren't nearly enough to go around.  So a student having difficulties in a class who is unable to secure one of the few tutors is left to completely flounder or risk getting an honor code violation by seeking outside help.  That doesn't make sense to me.  [/quote]

This is our experience. It is not a loose and easy place. It's very regimented.  [/quote]

There are extensive resources available through the university to provide academic support, so they don’t permit students to pay outside tutors to do their work for them.  It’s a perfectly sensible policy, and those who chafe at it should be taking other courses or enrolled elsewhere.  [/quote]

The policy makes no sense. Tutors can help but they are not taking midterm or final exams for the kids. Some kids need extra support [/quote]

Again, there are plenty of resources available through the university for students wanting assistance or needing academic support.[/quote]

Prove it. Wishing doesn't make it so. [/quote]
